The Winter Blahs

This has been quite the winter. We have been going a little bit crazy being cooped up in the house with all the snow and cold weather. We have gotten over twice the average snowfall this year, or so I've been told. All I know is that it has not been pretty. We have had to get creative to keep entertained in the house this winter. Thomas' favorite game: Store. He can play it ALL DAY! Not kidding. One day I really think I played store with him for five hours. 
I was happy when Lincoln came over to relieve me of my shift for a bit. :)
Sometimes its just nice to chill at home with your friends.
Caroline's sleep pattern has changed in the past month. I think due to her new skill of rolling over coupled with teething, she wakes up more frequently. So sometimes around 5 or 6 she joins us in the big bed. This bed is feeling awfully small these mornings! But very cosy.
The lady has started eating solids. She is doing pretty well. Much better than her brother. It is not nearly as traumatic for me.
It might be traumatic for her at times, though. 
This silly boy! This is balloon Clint getting fed by the rascal. He can take it better than the lady.
WE have built some nice houses inside this winter.
My two cuties playing inside their house. Caroline thinks thomas is so silly. Mom, doesn't she look a lot like me in this picture?
The master of the house.
This is thomas saying, Come on Mom! Please play outside with me!
Sometimes being cooped up is a recipe for disaster and mischief. The boy wasn't very happy getting those band aids pulled out of his hair.
I bought these construction jammies a few months ago for thomas and they were tiny! So one night Clint put Caroline in them. Thomas LOVED That! He kept saying, "Tawowine has 'struction jammies?"


Silly Papa 

This girl has too many trucks :)
Nothing like curling up with my cuties and reading a good book. But can we please get some sunshine now???

Party! Party! Party!

Thomas had his birthday party last weekend. It was so much fun! I think the little boy really enjoyed it. Thomas wanted a dinosaur birthday party with a dinosaur hunt. Here is our yummy food
 Some silly decorations I made.
 The watermelon t-rex was a big hit!
 Caroline is quite the charmer.
 Here are some friends, Grace and Lincoln hunting for dinosaurs.

 Thomas got really into the hunt.
 Showing off their loot.
 Singing to the birthday boy. Thomas loved all the attention. It was fun to have a little celebration for  the man.
 Some fun presents! Thomas doesn't get sick of trucks.
More cake please!
